| Subject: It was Tommy but I didn't think it was that bad because the joke was at the expense of Hillary not Obama. Tommy was trying to conjure up the worst thing Hillary could do and in presenting such a scenario, Tommy recognizes in his own post that it would be an awful thing to do and happen. |

By coincidence, before Tommy made his post, I was trying to conjure up the worst thing I could think of that Hillary could do as a sign of desperation and my sick sense of humour came up with the same thing. When you are trying to make yourself laugh with such thoughts, you have to go to the extremes. It is unfortunate that this scenario is also one that plagues some as a possibility but not in the scenario Tommy and I came up with. I would have said "Hillary seems so desperate to become President that if, god forbid, Obama was assassinated while Hillary was VP, I would start my investigation with her." This at least puts the awfulness of such an act in greater context, less nonchalantly. For his other joke, I would have said, "I bet privately Hillary Clinton is uttering the words that the old lady who wants to cross the road says in Blazing Saddles".
When you are left-wing and politically correct, being un-politically correct is so much funnier. You can get away with easier I suppose because you are so far removed. Even Karl Marx, who called for the abolition of slavery and had high hopes for America when it was ended, once made a politically incorrect joke in a letter to a lady-friend who had a black husband in reference to her husbands new appointment as an employee at a zoo.
